    Remember back when Elon kept calling himself a Free Speech Absolutist? That just gets funnier every day.

      Right-wingers only seem to care about free speech when it applies to themselves. Anyone else and they’ll get talking of “defeating the woke mind virus” or whatever ridiculous way they decide to demonize others.

      Reminds me of that Sartre quote

        Are you sure? Here’s real modern swastika:

        Although this is not current generation swastika, this is 1970-ies generation swastika.

          The Russia today is the same Russia as yesterday and all days before that.

          America, like Germany, will elect their new Fascist regime. Enabled by people like Musk, who makes a good modern stand in for Goebels.

          History doesn’t repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

          When I was young I literally couldn’t comprehend a world where someone like Hitler was elected… by a majority, in a democracy!! It boggled my mind… now, now I get it.

    I don’t understand why people don’t collectively quit Twitter and flock to Mastodon. It’s very simple, it’s better for everyone

      If a couple of years ago “by chance” prominent people on the right were temporarily banned, what do you think the reading would be?

        The comments from when that happened a few years ago? Is that was you’re referring to?

        Because I’m referring to most of the commenters in this thread having a big 'ol hate circ jerk.

        In my head, being on the left used to mean compassion and tolerance, but it’s clearly the same spitefulness as the right. I’m beginning it think this is just how tribalism in general works, doesn’t matter what team you’re on

    I don’t get why people still use that platform. It’s so hostile to the users. This is an election year and we’re just going to give him all this influence? Society is a big dumb animal.
